54 - Abusive Pastors, Fallen Mega Churches. And What About Seacoast?

Kathy and Chip, two friends of our lead and founding Pastors working closely with both, join Lynne and Joey to discuss the toxic cultures and pastor downfalls that mega churches are unfortunately being increasingly known for.  Both are fairly confident that our two main leaders won't have similar falls.During the course of this conversation, we have guest segments with Laura Barringer (co-author of A Church Called Tov) as well as with Joey's friend, Hayden, who experienced very poor treatment by church leadership during a very low season of life.   Joey also brings on former staff members he worked alongside to talk about the special working relationships they all shared during time leading a Seacoast church location together.  Lastly, Zach Bolen, solo artist and singer/song-writer of the band Citizens, shares perspective on today's subject at hand, based on his experiences at multiple churches.  The episode closes with a song from his band.Stay ConnectedWebsite | Facebook Discussion Page  In this episodeKathy Roseborough / InstagramJoey Svendsen / InstagramLynne Stroy / InstagramChip Judd / InstagramJack Hoey III, host / InstagramLaura Barringer / Instagram / Book / WebsiteHayden Corr / InstagramSarah Eller / InstagramRobbie Madison / InstagramZach Bolen / Instagram / Spotify / Apple MusicSpecial MusicNatasha Gray's "Stones" is from her newest album "Reminders" // Spotify / Apple MusicZach Bolen's "A Thousand Shores," courtesy of his band Citizens, is from the album  "I Can't Find the Edges of You" // Spotify / Apple Music Executive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Katelyn VandiverMusic, theme song: Joel T.
